Collage Event Reinterprets an Icon

The term of “collage” was coined in the art world 100 years ago this month. To mark the occasion, the Atlanta Collage Society this summer invited members of the community to create tiny, three-by-three inch collages, 841 in all. At an event this month at the Museum of Design Atlanta, or MODA, they brought those small collages together. Laid together in a grid, they formed one of the most famous images of the last century: Andy Warhol’s print of Marilyn Monroe. WABE’s Kate Sweeney went to the anniversary event, to watch as members of the public assembled art, from art.
